OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

N4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

Comment by diannep on May 8, 2015 at 9:39am: Good Morning!

Comment by Redwind on May 8, 2015 at 9:11am: Received first mail from our SR. Two letters at once. Such emotion. Looking forward to the next letter/communication.

Comment by Chances on May 8, 2015 at 7:50am: We got our first letters yesterday! He thanked my husband for making him do all those push-ups in the months before he left. It was so nice to hear that, since he was not always liking my husband for that at the time. :)

He also was appointed division guidon. I am not sure if this is a random selection or is an honor though.

Keep up the good work of waiting, moms!

Comment by Texas proud on May 8, 2015 at 7:40am: Got my first letter other than the form one yesterday. I was so excited to hear from him!

Comment by CatMom509 on May 8, 2015 at 6:42am: Happy Friday!

"Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.

Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice

before the Lord."

Comment by David & Terri on May 7, 2015 at 10:36pm: Thank you ladies!!! We look forward to meeting everyone at the meet and greet.

Comment by diannep on May 7, 2015 at 10:11pm: mas-mom: The form letter in some cases can take up to 2.5 or 3 weeks to receive. They only mail one, so if you don't receive it, could someone else have received it? Hoping you get it soon!

Comment by ladiesnoopy on May 7, 2015 at 8:28pm: Welcome David & Terry. My son is also Ship 11 Div 206. I finally got my first letter. He said he can get mail every day but can only send mail once a week. He said to send lots of mail so I try to send at least a card or a letter every few days. I have sent some pictures too of family and pets. Only 5 weeks to go. Those first few have gone fast.
